JUST A FEW WORDS FROM OUR EDITOR

Woohoo! Our very own September issue is finally baked and served on a gold platter right on your salon doorstep! It’s been a bit of a topsy turvy Summer, but I’m sure we’ve all had time to relax and re-think our strategies for beautifying the Nation... Now it’s time to re-invent, re-invigorate and recruit! The army of make-over gurus and re-stylers is growing, and the field is becoming sharper, smarter and more cutting edge... So I pray... don’t, please don’t start your autumn winter season without a new collection... Without something brand spanking new on your portfolio. Take the time to analyze your repertoire and identify the gaps. Train yourself in new modalities to be able to fill them and offer as wholistic a service as possible. Flip through these freshly printed pages and allow yourselves to be inspired to try out something new!

You can only but gain from Just Beauty!

SKIN EXPRESS interview with Analise TRAPANI

How long have you been a Franchisee with Skin ExpressTM? Our outlet was the first to join Skin ExpressTM back in 2010.

What are your thoughts regarding the training provided by the company?

Skin ExpressTM medical professionals will train you to be the best of the best! I received individual training from experts who have been leading the business for the past ten years. Both theory and hands-on clinical practice were covered in detail using top-notch European and FDA approved equipment.

Does the fact that Skin Express is an international company help you feel safer when making your investment?

Yes, certainly. Being an International Company means Skin ExpressTM has already proved and tested that the business system actually works. This gives me reassurance that I am putting my money to good use.

TM

Tell us about the help offered by Skin ExpressTM for marketing and to establish your own Skin ExpressTM clinic - how would you describe your experience?

The Skin ExpressTM support team has been very supportive throughout the whole business relationship and not just in the initial stages. I am constantly being backed up whether it is for training, marketing, competitiveness, etc. The introduction of Skin ExpressTM at my clinic has helped me increase my clientele significantly. The ongoing marketing exposure and innovative ideas keep me and my clients happy.

How would you describe your customers’ experience?

As an initial step I always insist on a complimentary consultation, after which clients feel more confident towards the treatment. I ensure my customers' experience is a pleasant one and most of all effective.

Clients are more than happy to see that after a few sessions there is simply no regrowth of hair.

Are you happy with your returns?

SkinExpress has significantly helped to boost my revenue and, even more, it enables me to earn more by doing less!

TM interview with REDEEMER GATT Role: Brand Manager | Age: 25 years

What is Skin Express?

Skin ExpressTM is a franchise that started out in Malta and is now expanding into other countries. So far we have strong connections with Greece, New York and Russia. Skin ExpressTM is all about providing treatments for hair removal and skin rejuvenation in the safest way possible at a very affordable price.

Where are you located in Malta?

We are presently located in Fgura, Siggiewi and Rabat. We are head hunting and selecting ideal beauty salons around Malta and Gozo to be part of our team! Our aim is to have a minimum of five more outlets on the islands to make hair removal affordable and close to home!

What is your target for this year?

Since we re-branded the company and upgraded to the Skin ExpressTM concept, we have attracted over 70 new customers and reached global attention due to our impeccable service.

My aim as the Brand Manager of Skin ExpressTM is to add more clients and maintain excellent service whilst recruiting and training more outlets in Malta and abroad. Right now my biggest effort is targeted towards the market in Russia and New York. After we visited New York ourselves this June, we have confidently compared ourselves to some major companies around the world.

What makes Skin ExpressTM stand out?

When referring to customers, Skin ExpressTM stands out for two main reasons: Firstly, it is the only franchise with a membership scheme.

Basically, our customers pay only Euro 235 for 6 months of hair removal treatments for the full body. Isn’t that phenomenal?! The second reason is the customer care and customer experience, you are literally treated like royalty and spoilt all the way through your experience with Skin ExpressTM! Now you see why I adore my work!

From a franchisee point of view, our strong point is the LOW entry cost, besides the French FDA approved machines and the FREE training and support given at any point + FREE MARKETING! We also provide consultations by our doctors about Lipo-Sculpture/Smart lipo, dermal filler, botulinum toxin, aesthetically and as a medical remedy, together with various other medical aesthetic procedures.

Of the latest trends in the magnificent world of Beauty

Hair Style The style that Autumn is bringing with it, as far as hair styling goes, is 'simple yet sophisticated'. A low ponytail with a fringe hanging on the front is one of the most sought after looks this season. Another unique trend is the use of braids, particularly a look that features a braid which starts at the nape evolving into a bun on top. It is a perfect hairstyle which has evolved from the bun we have seen this Summer but ending in a more interesting result. It is deal for the girl who wants an everday look which is different from the norm.

10

SEPTEMBER 2013 - issue 15

Colour:Dip Dyed End Hair Styles Colours such as pink, purple, and blue can create a uniqueness in hair colouring ideas. The look which is becoming more popular is to have the normal hair tones from the roots, then experiment with a wild colour at the bottom.

This look can be done both as a temporary fix or one can be bold and get the look installed permanently. Invest in creative colours this Autumn since this trend is spreading amongst our clients.

SEPTEMBER 2013 | issue 15

SEPTEMBER 2013 | issue 15

Make-up The new make-up trend is to appear very feminine and sensual. Red lips and leopard print eye shadow with bronze, coffee and beige shades can give a striking look.

The Eye Color

Some deep, rich colours as well as soft and neutral.

Rouge Lips Red is an intense colour and gives rich luster for lips.

Nail Glitter Dust is the in thing!

Intense nail polish shades define Autumn 2013 collection. Gothic colours are on the horizon and will be sure to inspire us for the coming winter thus shifting from the cool bright colours of the summer to darker tones with intense shades, which vary from black to oxblood. The secret for this Autumn is the glimmer in the colours. Adding some sparkle to the look will give a 3D effect. For those who are less adventurous there are also the leopard colours which are more neutral and less aggressive.

MARKET THYSELVES

5 tips to keep up your social media Nowadays social media is a very important tool for every business. Making sure you are up-to-date with every type of medium will help you recruit new clients while keeping your loyal clients informed with all you are up to. If you do not put yourself out there then you are missing out!

1.

First and foremost, make sure you have a Facebook profile AND website. They must be attractive but simple... If you haven't gotten this far yet... Well...

2. Make sure you create content around your brand which will

make you sound more interesting.

3.

Share the message and make sure you lure your clients in participating with your posts. Think up exciting bits of news, share feedback and innuendos and encourage your everyday customers to do the same.

4.

Work out a plan to make sure you have announcements to make throughout the year which will entice your customers to bother to look through your page. You can have a roster of posts: a picture of a hair-do or make-up job you are proud of on Monday, the treatment of the week on Tuesday, your favourite celebrity pic of the week on Wednesday, etc...

5. Create posts creatively and the more you involve your

clients participation the more effective it will be.

SEE THE LIGHT

Get ready for a new kind of light ILLUMINA COLOR: the new beauty must-have from Wella Professionals If you think you know everything there is to know about hair colour, then think again. New ILLUMINA Color by Wella Professionals is the latest breakthrough from the brand which is set to totally change how we think about hair colour forever.

Just as with cosmetics, whoever colours their hair can largely be divided into two groups: those who go for a saturated, full-on color approach – red lips, strong foundation, block hair color and a very ‘done’ result, while others prefer a more natural, sheer result: tinted moisturiser, colored gloss and a sheer subtle hair look. In other words, think Dita von Teese vs. Gisele Bundchen. If a glossy glow is the look you rock, then ILLUMINA COLOR is for you. Its result is a shimmering sheerness which gives a look that is beyond natural.

THE POWER OF LIGHT For the first time ever in the hair care industry Wella Professionals has harnessed the tools and digital technology used by companies like movie industry giants to learn exactly what makes the most beautiful hair luminous from within Wella Professionals have been able to bring luminosity in coloured hair to a complete new level of naturalness, perfection and beauty.

“‘There’s a real lightness, a real light energy to Illumina which I think is how hair should look. It’s totally modern hair colour. ILLUMINA COLOR creates a shine like I have never seen before. It’s so incredibly luminous... there’s a real lightness to this color which is just how I think hair should look” Josh Wood

Did you know that the outer layer of your hair, the cuticle, is transparent like your nails? The condition of your hair cuticle is extremely important because it allows light to pass through and reveals the hair’s real colour tones from within. However, impurities like tiny metals, are left as a residue from water as you wash your hair and can stick to the cuticles, which then, during the colouring process, can form free radicals which in turn can cause damage to the cuticle surface.

In essence, this means that the cuticle is no longer transparent so when light interacts with the hair it gets diffused and it is not able to enter the hair or reflect the colour with the same intensity, translating into less luminosity colour after colour.

ILLUMINA COLOR contains Advanced Microlight™ technology with its millions of micro-particles that encapsulate the tiny metals left on the hair, reducing cuticle damage and keeping the surface of the hair cuticle healthier and more transparent colour after colour: in fact ILLUMINA COLOR boasts an incredible 20% less cuticle damage* and 70% more light reflection* as well as up to 100% grey coverage.

place colour next to colour without bleeding. No more foils!

October also marks the release of Color.id from Wella Professionals. Color.id is designed to create multi-tonal colour without using foils and without bleeding.

The product uses InvisiDivider Technology, which when added to Wella Professionals colour products, such as Koleston Perfect and ILLUMINA COLOR, creates a matrix with the colour mass to act as a barrier and separate different hair colour sections. Color.id will change the way you work with colour. For the first time ever, place colour next to colour without bleeding. No more foils!

Enter a new world of colour creativity today.

*Colour after colour vs. next leading competitor

GET TO THE COHR OF BEAUTY

WHY Mary Cohr?

It’s time you freshen up your salon and up your game with a professional brand that offers remarkable results in skin healing and regeneration.

Founded by the son of a French pioneer in cosmetic surgery, Mary Cohr is based on high-tech formulas formerly used by Jean-Daniel Mondin’s father in cosmetic surgery. These formulas are now also made available to the expert beauty professional like yourself.

Mary Cohr provides a variety of treatments, each targeting specific goals including: Whitening, Lifting, Nourishing, Purifying, Moisturising and Deep cleansing. These treatments offer a solution for even the most demanding skin types including those healing from surgery. Nonetheless Mary Cohr’s treatments are backed up with a professional range of products for home care use.

PEEL & Lift – ‘Increasingly RADIANT after the FIRST treatment’ Very often after the summer months, clients start complaining about pigmentation. Little do they know how stubborn this skin concern is. In addition to fatigue, age and stress the skin loses its radiance and appears dull and devitalised.

The Peeling effect.

Gentle fruit acids recreate “New Skin” Peeling beauty treatments detach the dead skin cells and impurities, which prevent the skin from breathing freely. The fruit acids in Peel and Lift treatments gently break the link between living and dead skin cells to reveal the radiance of the new cells.

The Lifting effect.

Pure Vitamin C regenerates collagen The application of a Vitamin C mask will recreate a youthful complexion, improving skin elasticity and minimising pigmentation. The complexion is radiant, the skin looks visibly lighter and regains its firm, youthful appearance.

Vitamin C has proven renewing effects on collagen, a key protein for skin elasticity. This is recommended as an intensive treatment or as a monthly skincare maintenance treatment.

Mary Cohr’s Peel & Lift treatment offers 3 main actions.

Peeling effect - Fruit acids eliminate dead skin cells and impurities, which prevent the skin from breathing. New cells emerge to create a younger looking skin.

Regeneration - The newly rejuvenated skin is nourished by regenerating active ingredients, making it even more radiant. Additionally, the active ingredients encourage the synthesis of elastin fibres for greater firmness.

Lifting Effect - The Vitamin C Mask is prepared in front of the client. Its elastic structure firms the complexion. Vitamin C regenerates collagen deep down.

Whether you are a Skin therapist in search of a new brand or one who just opened a business, Mary Cohr gives you the ultimate professional edge a consumer looks for in a beauty salon. It offers a complete range of beauty treatments, professional and retail products including all merchandising required.

For more information on Mary Cohr contact our representatives at PHBS Ltd on 21 42 44 01/2/3 or email on info@phbsmalta.com. Visit www.marycohr.com for more information.

OMBRE HAIR COLOURING

The colours chosen for this procedure were red copper and copper golden. As you can see in the picture, we had to make more than one mixture as there was more than one colour on the clients hair to start of with.

Mixture 1: (Virgin Hair, roots) Code Zero Vibrant Color 8.4, 30ml Code Zero Vibrant Color 8.3, 10ml Code Zero Vibrant Color 8.64, 10ml Code Zero Vibrant Color 90.4, 10ml Code Zero Pure Pigment Color 0.33, 5ml Code Zero Pure Pigment Color 0.44, 5ml 1:1 with Code Zero OXI30 VOL Mixture 2: Mid Lengths Upper Level Code Zero Vibrant Color 8.4, 20ml Code Zero Vibrant Color 8.3, 100ml Code Zero Vibrant Color 8.64, 10ml Code Zero Pure Pigment Color 0.33, 4ml Code Zero Pure Pigment Color 0.44, 4ml 1:1 with Code Zero OXI20 VOL and Code Zero OXI30VOL Mixture 3: Mid Lengths Lower Level Code Zero Vibrant Color 7.4, 45ml Code Zero Vibrant Color 7.3, 15ml Code Zero Vibrant Color 8.64, 15ml Code Zero Pure Pigment Color 0.33, 6ml Code Zero Pure Pigment Color 0.44, 6ml 1:1 with Code Zero OXI20 VOL

(As you can see in mixture 3 we chose darker tones as the colour that we had to work on was very light.)

Hair Ends: Tips Code Zero Vibrant Color 10.43, 10ml Indulge Color and Seal Treatment Mask, 10ml Code Zero OXI10 VOL 10ml

We mixed the Indulge treatment mask with the colour and peroxide as the hair ends where very dry. Vibrant Color offers a great range of an impressive 72 colours and it is enriched with vegetable

components that protect and nourish the hair during the color treatment.

Active components ensure a long-lasting, vibrant result. They contain vitamin liposomes for optimal volume and conditioning. The D-Pantenol liposome is a form of vitamin B5 that makes your hair strong and elastic. Using Code Zero Hair products, colouring results in shiny, silky hair.

After the processing time, we used a mixture of Balancer pH2.5: Acidifier with maximum color lock pH2.5 which rebalances the hair’s pH values.

Its acid-cationic formula develops a remarkable de-alkalifying and disentangling action. Balancer pH 2.5 eliminates the alkaline residues present in the scalp and hair after colouring, bleaching and perming, thus restoring the hair and scalp’s physiologic pH. Its specific disentangling and balancing action makes the hair soft, bright and manageable.

The Balancer pH2.5 was applied directly to the processed hair colour without any rinsing. Approximately 5 pumps of Balancer pH2.5 were used directly on the hair colour without rinsing and the scalp was massaged for 1 minute, without touching the lower ends (where there was the 10.43).

After 1 minute, the colour is rinsed and Color Fixx pH5.5 is applied.

Color Fixx pH5.5 is an amphoteric shampoo which is specially formulated to properly clean the hair and scalp after a colour treatment. It exerts a balancing eudermic cleansing action and does not alter the physiologic balance of the hair and scalp. The cleansing action does not interfere with the colour pigment and it ensures better hold of colour and highlights.

gives hair new energy, volume and radiance.

It makes hair silky soft and easy to comb. It is recommended for damaged, dry, dull and treated hair, and sensitive skin. The hair was then rinsed thoroughly.

After towel drying, a few sprays of Inside Potion was applied. This is a leave-in treatment for dry, damaged and unruly hair. It restores lost moisture and rebuilds strength and also detangles and repairs the hair’s structure. The unique cream-to-mist technology gives the hair a silky texture, which adds manageability and slip to hair while styling.

Maria blow dried curls at the ends and applied a few pumps of Deffrizzit which eliminates frizz and dryness. Deffrizzit gives hair great brilliance while repelling humidity. A minimum quantity should be used when applying to the hair. This can be used before or after styling.

After 1 wash with the color fixx pH5.5, Maria applied the Balancer pH2.5 onto the hair to maximize colour lock. Indulge was applied on the Balancer as it is a vitalizing mask with a deep hydrating action that

When we met with Madeline, our colour technician, Maria Barbara, from the Styling Room, Poala, opted for the ombre technique to go with Madeline’s complection. The Ombre hair colouring technique has taken the hair colour world by storm. It may seem daunting to stylists that are not used to full control of foils, but trust us, it’s not as difficult as it may seem and a great result was achieved.

DUAL BEAUTY PRINCIPLE Effects from the inside and the outside

The research and development department of Biodroga MD together with experts from the medical and pharmaceutical field has come up with the ideal combination of skincare which works from within and without. They have developed a number of skin booster serums and their matching supplements designed to target the most common skin problems.

SKINCARE based on medical research Skin booster serums and nutritional supplements – the perfect duo when a visible and long-lasting imporvement in skin condition is the goal.

Due to its texture and formulation THE SERUM is the most effective skincare element available in modern derma cosmetics. This is due, not only to the high concentration of active ingredients, but also to the consistency which does not stop at the first barrier but goes right down to the base of the epidermis where the effect is required.

STPL II The key Ingredient is the patented Peptide library STPL II consisting of 1,600 peptides. This stimulates and activates skin functions that are starting to diminish.

Serums with key ingredients targeting specific problems.

Each skin problem has its own serum with its key ingredients to combat deficiencies. The ideal combination is SERUMS with matching NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS. The range includes 6 specific serums with their matching nutritional supplements.

Nutritional supplements: Vitamins, minerals and trace elements.

Nutritional supplements may offer a reasonable support from the inside to lastingly improve a skin condition that is off-balance. The supply of vitamins, minerals and trace elements contributes significantly to the detoxification process and stabilisation of the skin condition.

The Serum + Supplement combinations are Anti-blemish, Moisture Plus, Pore refining, Anti UV stress, Anti-pigmentation and Instant Lifting. The range of serums is completed with the stand alone ‘Total Anti-age Serum’ that has the effect of relaxing expression muscles and diminishing lines and wrinkles.

For more information you can call Corinne on 99495309 or 21696661

In just 3 to 5 minutes you can improve your skin The researchers have also developed salon treatments based on fruit acids that target impure skin, large pores, lines and wrinkles, disturbed hornification, pigment spots, age spots, acne scars and light induced damage. The Fruit Acid Treatments are the ideal surface peeling mediums and depending on the skin condition a repeated application (a cure) at regular intervals will significantly improve skin appearance and tone.

Only professional beauty therapists that attend the fruit acid training session may perform the treatments.

Q&A with BARBER B

[brian swarray]

from piranha barbering academy

Hair Styles for Men were very limited unless they grew their hair long. However this innovative technique has taken barbering to the next level.

BARBER B

How long has it been since hair tattooing became so popular?

Photography: www.dabelatrading.com

In the UK hair tattooing has been popular for over 21 years, that’s as long as I have been barbering!

How long does the procedure take?

The time taken can vary from as little as 10 mins to 2 or 3 hours depending on the design, and experience, as well as the level of expertise, of the barber.

Are any special tools needed for this treatment?

I recommend a detailer for hair tattooing!

Does the client provide the design or do they allow you to express your artistic capability?

Each client is different! If a client gives you a design plan then you may charge more for your time.

What is the most important thing your client needs to know prior to any treatment?

Your client needs to receive a good clear consultation about the service and treatment they will require.

What is the main ingredient for a successful treatment?

Deliver your treatment with confidence and take great care to give attention to detail! Also as I have already advised, always consult your client and ask for their opinion and expectations.

Would you part with what, in your opinion, could be a top secret tip for successful hairdressing?

Remember the names of your clients and always be passionate about your work at all times!!

Thank you!

Continuously re-educating ourselves about newly emerging information and cutting-edge techniques and practices is the name of the game in our profession.

Keeping ourselves well-informed about new treatments on the market, innovative ingredient properties, skin maintenance and home care routines, and every new season's make-up scheme is essential. Being open-minded about learning new techniques is as important as being good listeners to our clients their joys and apprehensions, the aches and pains of their everyday life.

I think we all agree that being professional is more than just a job with opening and closing hours. Our clients are loyal to us because they trust us to have their best interests at heart. Clients very often take us into their confidence, coming to us for comfort, friendship and trust, which is imperative for us to respect. We are the point of reference to our clients who trust us primarily to analyse their skin correctly and select the best beneficial treatment for them.

Our clients deserve to feel secure in the knowledge that they are getting their salon treatments from a professional who takes the initiative to remain updated on new perspectives, salon treatments and management ideas throughout her career.
